Love, love, love this, Holly! And your voiceover is fantastically done. Just, bravo!
Medieval letters often get me in a chokehold. The expressive language, though expected, scripted, and performed, was also so freely given. You said what you felt because the certainty of tomorrow was never there, and to me, that was just a beautiful showing of humanness.
Thank you for highlighting the 'men performing masculinity' series. I am so grateful for you. ❤️
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! And I’m grateful for your thoughts on the voiceover: I get so nervous doing them.
The letters are such a window into the past aren’t they; like the people themselves speaking across the centuries to us directly. They are tender and personal, and yet can be carefully orchestrated too. I just love them! All words from the past, really.
I think the existence of all that poetry, and all those songs those lords would have delighted in, lovesongs especially, admirably proves your point! Knights and suchlike don't risk everything in pursuit or rescue of love unless they know how to love, methinks...

You’re absolutely right! How could they write love poetry if they didn’t experience love, right?
Fascinating as always, thank you Holly xx
Thanks Lyndsay!
